Main Street is aflutter with people setting up for Spirit of Beacon Day! The official theme of this year is “Celebrating Unity!” Official parade volunteers are wearing white shirts that celebrate unity and community.

Here are two South Avenue Elementary PTA moms, Ryan and Juliet (Juliet owns Beacon Pilates) picking up balloons 🎈 for the South Ave. marchers. The balloons are by the wonderful Junko at Flowers and Gifts, near All You Knead bakery (who is open and smells delicious!) . 🙌🙌

Disclaimer: I’m with them! I was part of this year’s float-making with the kids and parents. Look for so many other floats and presentations from other Beacon schools and local organizations.

J. V. Forrestal Elementary is having a water theme with little fishies - look for jellyfish or anything constructed with individual wagons. The kids got together on Family Fun Nights to unite in their creativity.

More pictures will be added here during the day, so keep checking back and refreshing this page!
